Nearly a century on from the discovery of his tomb, Tutankhamun-mania shows no sign of relenting. But issues of ownership and repatriation surrounding Tut-related objects aren't going away either.

An Egyptian brown sculpture of Tutankhamen sold for nearly $6 million at Christie's auction house.Attorney Leila Amineddoleh, who's working with the Greek government on similar repatriation issues, called the"alleged provenance" of the sculpture"inaccurate or highly questionable.""It is not acceptable," she said,"for art market participants to turn a blind eye towards problematic provenance or ignore red flags.

Visitors queue in the rain to see "Treasures of Tutankhamun" at the the British Museum, London, in 1972.After the glut of shows, the artifacts returned to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, their permanent home. In 2004,"Tutankhamun. The Golden Beyond" opened in Basel, Switzerland, and then Bonn, Germany, with around 50 objects from Tut's tomb and additional artifacts from the Valley of the Kings, offering a new generation the opportunity to get to know the boy pharaoh.

Arabs would not be digging up their ancestors. So who ancestors are they. Tut was black African/Alkebulan and before invasion from the north his tomb was unbothered. There was no exodus of the Hyskos/Hebrews it was an expulsion.
